Be it known that I, RUDOLPH ScnoLIen, a subject of the King of Saxony,residing at Dresden-Altstadt, Saxony, in the Empire of Germany, haveinvented a certain new, usefnl, and Improved Manufacture of SanitaryPaper or Material for Toilet Purposes, of -which the'following is aspecification. Y

The material for toilet purposes according to the present invention' isdestined to replace the generally-used paper,which is not usually madespecially for the purpose, and for this reason, as well as for others,is not always suitable. to paper in its use and is of especial value topersons suffering from hemorrhoids, abscesses, or other complaints.

The material according to the present invention consistsof a sheet orstrip of thin impermeable paper and a thin 'layer or sheet ofcotton-wool secured to the paper. The two constituent parts should bechemically puro; bntthe cotton-wool may be also prepared or impregnatedwith antiseptic substances. For instance, carbolic Wool may be used. Inuse the layer of the cotton-wool Vis of course applied dircct-ly to thebody, the layer of paper givin g to the thin layer of cotton-Woolstrength By this combination of paper and cottonwool the new materialoffers the advantages mentioned over paper only, whereas it is muchbetter than cotton-wool alone, as it is cleaner to use and cheaper.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the materialin dierent forms.

Figure l shows a sheet of the material according to the presentinvention in elevation, Fig. 2 is a vertical section of Fig. li Fig. 3shows a block consisting of several sheets attached new cotton-woolpaper.

Throughout the drawings, (L is the sheet or strip of paper, and b thelayer of cotton-wool. In one forni, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, thematerial may be made for use in separate sheets of suitable size, orseveral sheets may be combined in asingle block, Fig. 3. In order not todamage the layer of cotton-wool The new material is much superior l pFig.,f.i. shows aroll of the new ma` tcrial, and Fig. g5 shows a coversuitable for packing or holding one orrmorc sheets of the perforatededge of the paper c c-that is to say, the layer of paper may projecttothe extent of the strip a' slightly beyond the layer Vof cotton-wool,saidV projecting strips being connected together. In order'to equalizethe A thickness o f the block throughout, cardboard strips dA of thesaine thickness as the cottonwool layers may be placed between thestrips a. The paper-layer surface Vis preferably placed outward, so asto keep the layer of cotton-wool clean.

A strip S, Fig. 4, of the material may be rolled on a spoole, having ahandle f, in order to allow separate pieces as required for use i to betorn oit. The paper, however, must be at least provided with transverseperforations g g, so as to cause the separation to take place at thedesired place. If the cotton-wool is cemented to the paper onboth sidesof the perforated line g g, there is little risk ofthe cottonwool layerbeing torn at the wrong place.

It is generally advisable not'to secure the paper and the cotton-wooltogether over the whole contiguous surfaces in order not to im'- pairthe softness and absorbing quality ofthe cotton-wool.

V'The back h h may be perforated lengthwise. The back cover U' may alsobe divided into strips or sections by means of transverse lines f1. t ofperforations, to the upper one, 'Laet which is attached the strip a' orsheet of material.

The other sections u" are intended to contain advertisements and to betorn ott, it desired, by the person receivingthe cover. This cover,containing a sheet or sheets of the material,

is intended to be given to visitors to hotels and public lavatories,whereby itis kept in a state of perfect cleanliness. The cover can alsogers', visitors to exhibitions, &c.
